cisco.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 14.-The resi-
dents of Post street, between Larkin and
Polk streets. were startled last evening by
the sound of tremendous explosion and
by the shattering of glass about their ears.
A dynamite cartridge had been placed on
the track of the Larkin street branch line
of the Sutter street cable road, and had eX-
ploded under Dummy No. 81. The dummy
was completely wrecked and the win
dows of the car and of houses in the
vicinity were demolished. Mr.. A. Hilder-
brandt and his wife and brother were Sit
ting on the dummy Oh the side where the
explosion took place. They were all thrown
into the street. and Mrs. Hilderbrandt, it is
feared, is seriously injured. She was taken
into neighboring house and medical as
sistance was summoned. Late in the even
ing she was conveyed to her home. 1t was
a miracle that there were no others injured,
as several persons were on the dummy.
Several persons in the vicinity rushed to
the scene of the disaster and soon large
crowd congregated. Officer Conboy, who
was Oh the dummy, describing his sensa-
tions. said that the explosion had the effect
of momentarily
STUNNING HIM,
and it was fully half al hour before he re-
covered his hearing. Che excitement
caused by this explosion was intensified
when it became known chat another eXplo-
sion had taken place on the Sutter cable
road, near Dupont street. about an hour
later. The explosive. which il is believed
to have been giant powder cartridge, was
exploded by the dummy wheels running
over it. The dummy was disabled and had
to be taken to the car house for repairs.
1t was replaced by new one, and the road
continued to operate its cars asuSual during
injured by the last explosion, as the charge
small. The authorities are entirely
at loss as to the authors of
these outrages, and have not as yet OBJ
tanned the slightest clue to the perpetrators
of any of these frequent attempts at the de-
structiOn of life and property Oh the Geary
and Sutter street cable roads. Three men
who were on the Post street dummy were
bruised. but not seriously hurt. Two men
have been arrested on suspicion of being
concerned in the outrage. Their names can
not be aScertained.
Later in the evening an uneXploded dyna
mite cartridge was found near Scott street,
on the Geary street road. The cartridge
had evidently been placed on the track but
had rolled off. Chief Crowley and other
police officials are deliberating as to what
means to take to detect and bring the cul-
prits to justice, and to guard more carefully
against any such acts in the future.

Churchill an Economist.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Lord Randolph
Churchill in letter explaining his reSigna-
ton from the cabinet says his object was
to secure economy combined with efficiency.
He will gladly cooperate with any one in
an endeayor to induce or compel the house
OF commons to revert to the better financial
principles which prevailed before 1874. He
continued:
3 II economyis unpopular in Downing street
we must make it popular. Calamities meal
culabie will result if the present system of
lavish, uncontrolled expenditure be allowed
to continue.
Gladstone thinks this letter does honor to
Lord Randolph, and offers the latter a
chance again to raise the fiag of economy.

can motel, who kept it. The envelope was
not addressed. but another was found later in
tue room occupied by sMiss Merton ad-
dressed to Cluverius. 1t was this that led TO
MS arrest. The note read: Il will be there
as soon as possible, so please wait for me-
After the discovery of the body ana the ar
rest OF Cluverius, who was positively identi-
ned as the man who had called upon Miss
Merton twice on the 18th, it was developed
that she was Cluverius' first cousin. They
had lived III adjoining counties, and were
ABOUT the same age. She had mentioned him
to some Of her female friends as her sweet
heart and said that she expected to marry
him. An examination of the body also de-
veloped the fact that she was
IN A DELICATE CONDITION.
There were evidences of a struggle near
the reservoir embankment. and male and fe-
male foot prints were clearly traceable The
dead woman's hat was found near a small
pox hospital, few hundred yards off, Her
shawl was found hanging on a fence in an
entirely different locality, and bag contain
ing her clothing was fished out of the river
a mile from the place of her death. But the
most important and significant find was a
watch key which was positively identified by
matchmaker as one he had made for Cluver-
lus, Whlle 1t was recognized as having be-
longed to him by numbers of his acquaint-
ances. The trial was lengthy and hotly con
tested 1t was proven that Cluverius and
HiiSS IuauiSou were IN Ine nele hDOrhOOd OF
the reservoir on the night of the murder.
The suicide theory was advanced, but
this was disproved by the evidence of
struggle, and the claim of the accused that
he had not seen the deceased for several
months was clearly shown to be false. A mo-
tive for the crime was Shown in the fact that
he was engaged to an heiress. The evidence
was purely circumstant!al, the accused's
previous good character was in his favor, but
it took the jury but a few moments to return
verdict OF guilty. An appeal was taken to
the supreme court and the verdict was un ar
lmously sustained. The execution was fixed
Tor last december, but respite until to- day
was granted by the governor. A second re-
spite was asked for a few days ago but re-
fused. Throughout his Imprisonment Clu-
Yerius stoutly maintained his innocence, and
Yesterday kept up devotional exercises. He
had many believers in his innocence, who
MANIFESTED their sympathy in many ways.
